On November 6, a friend in South Dakota had seen a buck in the distance with his head down. It wasn\’t moving, and although she honked the car horn repeatedly, he wouldn\’t raise his head. She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck\’s horns were entangled with those of another one, which was dead. So she called friends and asked if they wanted an adventure — untangling them.

They were tangled in an old fence line just east of a golf course, where some railroad tracks had been. The live buck was on the high side, and the dead buck on the slope. They estimated that other buck had been dead for 2 or 3 days. The live buck had the bigger rack – a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more “stickers” on its rack

They attempted to break a point off the dead buck\’s rack with his pliers, but couldn\’t. Then they tried turning the dead buck\’s head but the other one just became more frightened and started backing up. The now scared buck eventually got out of the fence, and out in the open. Terry pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks loose, but it didn\’t work.

They finally decided to go to a friend\’s house in order to borrow his chainsaw, but then they thought something quieter would be better, and so got a hacksaw instead. Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!

The buck didn\’t realize this for probably 30 seconds or so. When he did, he started striking the dead buck in the face repeatedly. He finally raised his head a little, and then a little more. He stood there with his head held high looking at them and they wondered if he was going to try charging them! Then he turned and ran off rather wobbly. He went a short distance, lay down briefly, and then got up and took off in the direction of the Big Sioux River .

This is my 6 point buck.

If you haven\’t read how I harvested this brute of a buck, it was the spot, stalk and tackle kind of harvest. And he didn\’t move at all. He just stood there.

Sadly, now that hunting season is over, my 6 point buck is tucked away in our garage for the season.

And for the record, I\’m not the one that put all those holes in him.  I don\’t pack heat.

Or arrows.

Barbara Baird from the Women\’s Outdoor News also has her does stored away for the season.

Poor girl.  She\’s the shy one.

But would you have a look at this hussy …

It\’s the love shack for does.

Have a good day all … I\’m wondering if she has a red bulb in her porch light.
